Release Notes:
Whitey Houston is an Edmonton based rock and roll duo comprised of
Bassist/vocalist Lyle Bell (sometimes known as Whitey) and Drummer
Rob Hoffart (always known as Gravy). The rock duo have known each
other since the mid 90's, playing together frequently and finally
making the decision to continue as a 2-piece after the
disintegration of their previous effort Slow Fresh Oil in the fall
of 2000. Already complementary as a rhythm section, the two
revamped their set-up and sound in an attempt to maximize their
sonic possibilities. Their efforts yielded a previously untapped
musical synergy anchored by Bell's inventive stereophonic bass
chording and Hoffart's increasingly blistering tempos. It was
pure, feral rock and roll complete with the right mix of swagger,
humour, and arm windmilling. Fueled by both Bell and Gravy's
audiophile and vinyl loyalist backgrounds, the new sound pulled
from diverse influences, from the garage soul of The Pretty Things
and The Sonics to the arena rock pomp of Thin Lizzy, early AC-DC
and Motorhead. Obscure 60's R&B screamers, '77 punk and 80's
metal, all were absorbed into the mix that would produce Whitey
Houston's particular brand of frenzied rock n roll.
